ChatI was in a voice chat discussion on Discord when another player made the suggestion (sorry I can't remember who), that there be some visual differences between Faction Chat and Global Chat. E.G. different colour, different font or even a different position on the screen; perhaps lower right.

They are on different "panels" - this is the default. It would be interesting to see if this could be modded a colour.

TimeThe time in game during daylight is equal to real time second for second. However at night it is 2 seconds for every 1 second in real time. At lower levels of XP (<20), players are focused on collecting resources for building or getting off the starter planets. I suggest that the night time in-game time be equal to real-time. Either just on starter planets or, preferably, on all PvE planets.

The Day/night cycle is dictated by the spin of the 3d planet - and portions of the same planet are in Day and night at the same time. This is not a single "global" setting and is to simulate a globe. The only way to change this would be to somehow have more of the planet in "day" at any one time, and I am unsure if this is possible to do.
